Season 1 of Extraordinary was Okay.
Pros: I like how much this series was filmed in East London. Some of the jokes were funny at times. This series felt like the x-men mixing a coming-of-age story with the main girl Jen trying to find her place in a town full of superpower beings and my favorite character who gave me the best laughs out of me the most was Carrie betrayed by Sofia Oxenham.
Cons: Sometimes the comedy does change different styles instead of sticking with one. At times Jen does get unlikeable through most of the series but learned her lesson and I did struggle to keep up with what’s happening in the series at times.
